Cost Factors

What affects your price

1

Base Condition

If the sub-base needs to be excavated and rebuilt, costs increase 40–60%. This is the #1 cost variable.

2

Asphalt Thickness

Standard residential is 2.5–3". Heavy-use (RVs, trailers) needs 4". Commercial lots require 3–4". More depth = more material.

3

Site Access

Tight lots, steep grades, or rural properties with long haul distances from the asphalt plant affect equipment and material delivery costs.

4

Drainage Work

If grading, French drains, or culvert work is needed to prevent water pooling, this adds to the project scope.

5

Total Area

Larger projects have lower per-square-foot costs due to equipment mobilization and material delivery efficiencies.
